Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado seeks his first victory of 2026 when the Filipino MMA star faces Willie “White Lion” van Rooyen in a flyweight bout at ONE Fight Night 41.
Filipino knockout artist Jeremy "The Jaguar" Miado seeks to open 2026 with a bang against South African contender Willie "White Lion" van Rooyen at ONE Fight Night 41.
The flyweight MMA bout takes place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, March 14 (PH time).
Miado has built a reputation as one of the promotion's most dangerous finishers, collecting six stoppages across seven wins in ONE Championship.
The 33-year-old Albay native’s resume includes TKO victories over former ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke and veteran contender “Mini T” Danial Williams.
A four-fight finishing streak previously positioned the Alpha Fitness and P'Chai Muay Thai & MMA representative for strawweight title contention, before setbacks temporarily halted his rise.
Miado looks to reignite his championship aspirations by moving to flyweight, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over Gilbert Nakatani at ONE Fight Night 28 in February last year.
At 135 pounds, “The Jaguar” showcased the speed and power that defined his early promotional success.
However, Miado succumbed to a submission loss to Avazbek Kholmirzaev at ONE Fight Night 38 last December despite a strong start.
Meanwhile, his opponent Van Rooyen enters as the 23-year-old former two-time EFC Flyweight Champion from South Africa.
